Go back a little bit in time.

Although the already somewhat nervous manpower allocation became more onerous because of Nangong's sudden departure and going to a foreign country for a "vacation", it was not so heavy that Lingjing would complain.

Although the recent events have also been inexplicably more, it is not uncommon for Nangong to encounter this kind of special period before he joined the company, and since he was able to persevere alone at that time, there must be no problem this time. But having said that, that idiot hasn't been out for too long, maybe he can't come back from some natural or man-made disaster.

In that case...... I think I'll give a bouquet of flowers, I guess.

There is no point in thinking about it, at least before the night patrol is done. Although it is only a slight feeling, it seems that there is really some wind and waves around here recently.

"Yo! Spirit Mirror! ”

Senmian Sensei's store has a rare customer, enthusiastic and cheerful, but engaged in black and white work, to be honest, this is a world of difference from her personality, and no one will be able to figure out what she is thinking.

Bounty youkai Aoi Lei, as long as you give enough money, you can hire her to do things, a youkai who wanders in the gray area. Maybe one day she can help you move bricks and build a house at full power, and the next day she may drive an excavator to smash your house to pieces because of more money. Hired Yokai...... There is nothing to blame and criticize, because the rules are like that, and if you are unhappy, there will be no place to complain. The only solution is to pay more.

……

Although there had been a brief collaboration before. But reason and experience are warning that the spirit mirror can't have much to do with Aoi Lei. After all, dealing with a monster who only recognizes money will be very dangerous if you don't have some capital.

Chimian squinted, lazy in the recliner, but quickly fell back asleep. It doesn't look like the sunflower bud invited by a thousand faces, so ......

"Welcome."

In the spirit of politeness, Lingjing still responded to the grinning monster with a normal attitude, "But the store is about to close." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

Kwai Lei, who was dragging her suitcase, waved her hand, and it seemed that she had no intention of staying here. "I'm not here to watch the foxes sleep, you're going to carry out your daily patrols, right?"

“…… Perhaps. The spirit mirror was ambiguously perfunctory, and with Kwai Lei's situation, it was not enough to trust it to the extent of telling the truth.

"Just walk around."

"Don't be so cold, Kagami-chan."

Kwai Lei smirked, honestly very much in line with her image, "I won't run around if it's okay at this time, your boss Banqing has given me enough money to let me help you." ”

“……”

"Ah, the proof is, you wait for me to shake her."

"No need. Keep up. ”

It's really pointless to do things that waste time, and Kwai Lei also has a precedent of receiving commissions from Banqing. Since she herself has said so, then there is at least a seventy percent chance that Chief Banqing has entrusted her to help.

If it's really unfortunate to hit the remaining three percent, it's not bad to pretend to trust her like this, and let Kwai Lei lie to "help" the commission, no matter how you think about it, it is necessary to investigate it well, instead of immediately cutting off the fire and waiting for the next fire point in a daze.

If it was Nangong's stupid person, most of them would be stunned to verify. Not...... Anyway, why compare him at this time.

……

"Ahh

After keeping up with the spirit mirror that left silently, Aoi Lei soon couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and showed her usual "liveliness".

"It's not small no matter how you look at it, and you really won't meet any ill-intentioned guys when you walk around alone?"

“……”

"Would you like a late-night snack?"

“……”

"Hey? Miss Lingjing? Didn't you get dropped? ”

Dropped?

But......

"Nope." Lingjing responded to Aoi Lei's complaints with a minimal dialogue, although it wasn't too much to relax at work, but the reason why it was more necessary to deal with it calmly was probably because of the increasingly uneasy atmosphere in the neighborhood.

It's like the calm before the storm, it's quiet but it's depressing, the weak guys will find a place to hide, and the ill-intentioned things will start waiting for an opportunity. This...... I'm afraid that's what happened in this area lately.

Moreover, there is no reason yet.

"If you're so nervous, if there's really any problem, you'll break down?"

Maybe she finally realized the attitude of the spirit mirror, and Kwai Lei also gave up meaningless conversations. Judging from her appearance, which is a little "silly" but only superficial, it is clear that this youkai is also aware of the uneasy atmosphere lately.

There are two kinds of stupidity, really stupid and pretending to be stupid, and apparently Aoi Lei is the latter. If she was really stupid in her gray profession, she would not know where the body was lying for a long time.

"At this time, the best thing to do is not to look at the sky, but to find an umbrella quickly. Yes...... I almost forgot that I was here because I didn't have a helper. ”

…… Retracting the preface, this guy is really stupid sometimes.

"Recently, some little monsters without brands seem to be moving a little wrong."

Aoi Lei shook her hand and said with a big grin, "But I've only heard a little bit from the grapevine, and it seems that they don't know why they started to think about whether or not to 'unite' or not." ”

"Joint? Gangs? ”

Because it is something that the spirit mirror has to pay attention to, so this time Kwai Lei finally made the spirit mirror have a little expression.

"Well, yes, it looks like that." Aoi Lei nodded, "But let's be honest, stupid people are stupid people, and getting together will only be big stupid." ”

The rabble...... Sometimes it can't be underestimated, after all, no one is the absolute protagonist.

"Even this needs to be banned, thank you for the information."

Lingjing nodded, and then moved his gaze into the distance.

A peaceful night, of course, is just what the eye sees. In fact, since the beginning, the situation around here has not been as quiet as it seems. The smell of blood began to fill the air, spreading, permeating, being perceived.

Ordinary people naturally don't smell that fishy air, but ......

"Somebody was killed."

Lingjing, who had a calm face, said something that didn't seem to be reassuring, and sprinkled a handful of paper into the air.

They gathered, spread, and became not very beautiful paper people. But it doesn't matter if you're beautiful or not, because you just need to be capable.

"Huh? Be murdered? Aoi Lei blinked blankly, "Where?" How I didn't see it. ”

Because it's not a place that can be found with the eye...... Ah, no, the more I think about it, the more I regret taking Aoi Bud with me.

"It's the smell, the smell of blood." Lingjing explained calmly, and then quickly followed the paper man who began to move, "Sure enough...... It's too late to hit the umbrella. (To be continued......)
